Shengzhou, full of romantic temperament, is located in the east of Zhejiang. It was called Shan County in ancient times. More than a thousand years ago, the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty dressed in white and wandered around with a sword. "Enter Yanzhong", I don't know how many literati and poets were fascinated by it, and the "Road of Tang Poetry" was formed from this. Find a weekend to go to Shengzhou for a walk. In this beautiful place, let your heart become romantic.
Shanxi: A Landscape Painting
Entering the city, a big river came into our eyes. This is Yanxi. Being so close to Yanxi River, Li Bai's ancient quatrains in "Dreamwalking Tianmu's Farewell" suddenly came to mind, "I want to dream of Wuyue, and fly across the mirror lake and the moon all night, and the moonlight will shine on me and send me to Yanxi." , Yes, this Yanxi is like a post station in the vast Chinese culture. Looking back at this Shengzhou City, it seems to be full of cultural charm.
Walking along the stream, the reeds beside the stream are dancing in the wind. The reed leaves are thin and long, shaped like the long hair of a woman in the small town of Shengzhou. Looking from a distance, the banks of the Shanxi River seem to be full of people. The classical women sang together in the sunshine. At this moment, I suddenly felt that Shanxi and Shengzhou were so well matched. They were truly a "good match". Shengzhou was surrounded by mountains, and only the central part of it, the Shanxi River, flowed through it. This hardness and softness formed a "perfect match" in Shengzhou. The mountains in the distance are like black clouds. Perhaps because of the humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River, the mountains and water are covered with a thin layer of green mist even on a bright and sunny day. This not only adds a delicate, soft and subtle touch to them , and depending on the distance and height, the ink marks are thick or light, deep or shallow.
What a freehand Chinese landscape painting with understatement and random touches.
Baizhang Waterfall: The first waterfall group in the south of the Yangtze River
Start early in the morning and go to Baizhang Waterfall. The waterfall is hidden deep in the mountains of Kuaiji Mountains.
Walking on the mountain trail with a backpack, I found a long-lost sense of security in my heart, and the cool breeze made me feel refreshed.
My friend shouted in front: "Come and see!" The peaks in front of me suddenly opened up, water vapor came in, and an endless "swish" sound filled the eardrums, hundreds of feet high. The waterfall suddenly jumped out of the fissure in the Bairen Cliff, flying down 66 meters. "The clouds are green and it's like rain, and the water is sluggish and smokey."
After leaving the waterfall, I found a boulder next to the pool to sit down and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The valley was extremely quiet, with only the sound of running water remaining in my ears, and unknown birds singing overhead. The songs were like mist, spreading in this free mountain. I breathed in the fresh air to my heart's content, and the vast and comfortable feeling filled every nerve in me. It was a rare enjoyment.
"I wonder if the great poet Li Bai has been here?" I was thinking randomly. But in the end, I came to the conclusion that I "probably have never been here". Otherwise, how comfortable it would be to live in such a worldly scenery. Even I am so reluctant to leave it, not to mention Li Bai, who has loved landscapes all his life, will definitely not Abandon this paradise.
Jinting Mountain: The legacy of the Saint of Calligraphy still exists today
We arrived at Jinting Mountain at noon. The "Holy Calligraphy Garden" has been built here. There are not many tourists and it is quiet. The atmosphere is the same as at this time. The reverence felt when visiting the tomb of the calligrapher Wang Xi at this moment is very consistent. Walking on the tomb passage, there are cobblestone-paved steps, and grass sticks out from every gap. When you step on it, it is soft, like a straw mat. On both sides of the tomb passage are gates full of vicissitudes of life. The doors are all closed, making you unable to help but guess its past and its former owner. According to the tour guide’s introduction, Jinting Mountain was the 27th Cave of Taoism. The reason why Wang Xi chose this place as his retreat may be related to his advocating Taoism in his later years.
The calligrapher is buried on Jinting Mountain, and his descendants live together in Huatang Village at the foot of the mountain, watching over their distant ancestors and living a life without competing with the world. In the Wang Ancestral Hall, the old man guarding more than 100 ancient plaques in the "Hundred Plaques Hall" is the 54th generation grandson of Wang Xizhi. The old man only receives 100 yuan in guardianship fees from the village every month, but he is willing to never leave these ancestral relics that he regards as treasures.
Cultural Square: Ordinary people’s "dream of talented scholars and beautiful ladies"
After dinner, I wandered around the streets of Shengzhou City and heard the familiar Yue opera tunes in the Cultural Square. Shengzhou is " "Hometown of Yue Opera", local people are living the "dream of talented scholars and beauties" here.
The violinist put the erhu on his lap, straightened the strings, tuned the tune, and played a prelude. Someone who liked Yue opera walked to the center of the venue, stretched out his posture, and played along with the sound of the piano. As she started singing, the streetlight's residual light slightly illuminated the face of the opera woman. She danced and sang, just like she was on the stage. When the song ends, the crowd will burst into applause.
Maybe it doesn’t matter whether there is a stage or not, because Yue Opera has penetrated into the lives of people in Shengzhou. If you like to sing, it is enough.
